Well I can say after getting one at tesco this is well worth it!. Get the following:
Firestarter (to sideload apps to Amazon fire platform and to have second interface)
Kodi via firestarter sideload
BBC Iplayer
ITV Player
UK TV Player
Plex
Setup Plex for home movie collection Amazon Prime is have amazon prime. And install Spartan Build on Kodi accessing all common apps on kodi = everything you ever need from a home entertainment system. Also voice search is really good

Could be a little misleading.
Firestarter doesn't side load an .apk it's just a launcher.
To side load you'd need to use ADB or ES file manager and gave the .apk files on and SD card or USB pen drive.

Good, also had problems with beast. used Ares wizard to install (which can install a ton of apps). Sphinx tv (Sorry was not Spartan build, Sphinx is good though) is lightweight and has ivue guide. I had to reassign channels to Zeus but works for movies etc.
What I did was load Ivue tv guide up, filter out all the rubbish channels or major duplicates (like 8 discovery channels to one channel) Kept the premium movie channels and then removed stream from all of them I wanted and then selected Zeus.
IPTV Stalker is tempermental for me and stutters more than Zeus does.

I have a 4K camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ-1000) and I use Adobe Premier Pro to create 4K MP4 videos.
My WD TV Drive barfs at these files, I assume this would play them ad downscale them to 1080p at the same time?
